🇬🇧🇸🇦 UK CLOSE TO BACKING SAUDI ARABIA AGAINST HOUTHIS – Drawn Into Another Yemen War

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is leaning toward offering military support to Saudi Arabia – including possible aerial refueling – as the kingdom comes under frequent Houthi attack. It would be one of his first major military decisions since taking office.

🇬🇧 The UK may provide aerial‑refueling support to the Saudi military – and will lobby other nations to do the same.

🎯 London claims aiding Riyadh would stabilise the region and reduce threats to ships in the Bab‑el‑Mandeb Strait.

🇺🇸 The US has so far refused to provide military support beyond intelligence – it wants to wind down the Iran war and avoid new escalation.

🇭🇺🇷🇺🇺🇸 Hungary seeks a US exemption from new Russia energy sanctions.

Hungary’s new government has asked Washington to exempt the country from measures targeting major buyers of Russian oil and gas, despite pledging to reduce its dependence on Moscow.

The request comes after President Donald Trump signed a new Russia sanctions law allowing tariffs of up to 100% on goods from major Russian energy buyers, with possible national-security exemptions.

Hungary relied on Russia for around 90% of its crude oil imports in 2025, making the issue particularly significant for Budapest.

The country’s existing US sanctions exemption is reportedly set to expire on November 21 unless renewed.

🇺🇸 U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz said civilian casualties resulting from the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran were “unintentional and incidental,” while acknowledging that any such deaths remain under Pentagon investigation.

🇺🇳 A U.N. fact-finding mission said U.S. forces unlawfully struck a school and a sports complex in Iran, killing more than 120 children.

Opportunities for BRICS and the SCO Aligning in Greater Eurasia
The past month of summit diplomacy involving the “Global Majority” has arguably been the most unsettling for outside parties. After all, neither BRICS nor the SCO includes representatives from Western nations in any capacity. Consequently, the potential for further deepening cooperation among the Global Majority countries across these various platforms holds special significance for the future global order. The "Greater Eurasia" initiative is also of particular importance, as are the opportuniti...  Read more »

🇳🇿🇨🇳 New Zealand Warships Transit Taiwan Strait, Drawing China Criticism

New Zealand’s naval frigate HMNZS Te Mana and replenishment ship HMNZS Aotearoa recently sailed through the Taiwan Strait during a three-month Indo-Pacific deployment.

New Zealand’s Defence Force said the transit was conducted under international law and described the route as international waters. China’s state-affiliated Global Times criticized the move, arguing that sending the two warships through the Taiwan Strait amounts to “showing presence” on an issue Beijing considers a core interest.

The report said Chinese forces tracked and monitored the vessels during their passage. New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he did not expect a backlash from China, New Zealand’s largest trading partner.

🇷🇺 Lavrov: West Using Fake News Against Global South

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Western governments and media of using misinformation and information pressure to undermine Russia and other countries in the Global South.

Speaking at an international forum on combating fake news in Moscow, Lavrov argued that modern technology allows unverified or fabricated reports to reach millions of people rapidly. He said Western governments were using such tools, alongside sanctions, tariffs and diplomatic pressure, to counter the emergence of a multipolar world order.

Lavrov also criticized Western coverage of the Ukraine conflict and disputed widely reported accounts surrounding the 2022 Bucha killings, calling for greater scrutiny of the available evidence.

The statements reflect Moscow’s longstanding criticism of Western media and information policies.

🇹🇷🇮🇳 Turkey Turns to India for Record Diesel Imports

Turkey imported a record volume of diesel from India in August 2026, as supplies from its traditional Russian source declined and disruptions affected fuel routes through the Middle East, according to India Today.

The surge marks a significant increase in Turkey’s purchases of Indian diesel and highlights India’s growing role as an alternative fuel supplier for Ankara.

The development comes despite political and diplomatic differences between India and Turkey. Ankara remains a close strategic partner of Pakistan and strongly backed Islamabad during the 2025 India-Pakistan tensions.

U.S. Senator Calls on ICC Members to Sanction Trump, Rubio

U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen has called on European countries and other members of the International Criminal Court to sanction President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio over their actions against the court.

In a post on X early Tuesday, Sept. 22, Van Hollen said European countries and other ICC members should sanction Trump and Rubio if they have “any self-respect,” accusing them of obstructing the court’s investigations into alleged war crimes in Gaza and its case involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

His remarks came after reports that the Trump administration is preparing sweeping sanctions against the ICC itself. The proposed measures could restrict most transactions with the court and further limit its access to the global financial system.
